Run, run, run away.

Run away, run today.

 

Run from the cage

of the fate you hate.

The fate created

by hate. The gate

is open wide,

so run. Hide your face,

Disgrace will surely

find its place.

 

Don't wait, just run.

Run, you coward.

Your hopes are sour.

You fool, your soul

is not controlled

by this crate of hate.

Future awaits.

Don't hesitate

or you'll be too late.

 

Go run, run, run away.

Run away, run today.
